What is Functional Training?
Functional training activities incorporate the use of multiple parameters such as balance, strength, coordination, and range of motion. Functional activities are designed to safely and gradually progress as you recover to allow for achievement of your functional and recreational goals.
Functional training is meant to improve the activities of daily living (sometimes referred to as ADL). ADL can range from personal care activities, like showering or dressing, to housekeeping or home maintenance activities, like cleaning, putting dishes away, or doing yardwork, to activities you need to do for work and recreation.

What Our Clients Say
Results oriented! Came back for a check on my sciatica and with treatment and some new exercises I am feeling much better, walking taller and can continue to swing that golf club! I new additional care was needed after several months of exercises provided by a different sports medicine practice,. This is when I turned to PPTSM and meet with Dr. Jill Trovo for a self evaluation. I was very pleased with the self evaluation and recommendation for an 8 week program of stretching, exercises, and eventual laser therapy. Working with Dr Jill has been a great experience. She is very attentive listener, always there for assistance and very knowledgeable. I’m happy to say after just three weeks my shoulder feels so much better and looking forward to a full recovery. The whole staff is great and very courteous. Thank you Dr. Jill and PPTSM team -Kevin
